"Is it because of Quincy?"

Karen went straight for the jugular.

She wasn't clueless, just straightforward. Lately, the only new addition to Everett's life seemed to be this woman! And even Jeffrey had mentioned her.

"It's not about her."

Dorothy preferred to keep her personal issues under wraps, not keen on airing her dirty laundry for the world to critique. She still hoped to find a way to mend things with Everett.

If their argument became public knowledge...

It might make reconciliation harder, with Everett too proud to make amends.

"Then what's it about? His mom passing away?"

"Yeah, he's just been in a bad mood, that's all. Give it some time, and he'll be fine. You don't need to worry about it."

"If I don't look after you, who will?" Karen's voice rose in pitch. "Dorothy, you're usually so vigilant! How come you become so naive when it comes to love? Men, especially someone like Everett, they don't just get upset for no reason! I think his mom's death is just an excuse, and it's actually all because of Quincy."
